I have had my MCE machine up and running for about two years now and have really been enjoying it. That is when using it through the Media Center interface. However, when using it as a computer there are times when you just can't read the words on the screen. One would think that on a 65" TV one should be able read it. Here is an example. While sitting in the normal windows desktop everything is fine. If I open up TVsersity I am unable to read 95% of what is in that particular window. So, I try to use the magnifier but it makes it hard as then you only have half a screen to work with. Here is my set-up. Sony 65" rear-projection TV connected to an ATI All-in-Wonder card via componant cables. Where should I begin to look? Thanks.
Is your Sony HD? if not you're converting the output to 600x480ish and it will look terrible when reading text. You're best bet if you really want your pc hooked up to your TV will be to hook up a second lcd monitor along side the TV and use two displays. If your TV is HD, then you'll want to make sure your display settings are set to match the TV and make sure you have the latest video drivers which both Nvidia and ATI have nice user friendly setups for TV screens.
Thank you. I hooked up a second monitor and things look better. Now I just have to settle on what setting I need to use on my old 15" monitor. Cheers.
